I swear these guys are on crack!!!
The 26x8.5x16 inch MT ET Drag was an AWESOME tire and they pulled it. I wish they would make that again.
Who is going to buy another 2 17 inch rims for track only?

The reason for the tire is that you must grind your suspension to put 16" rims on Corvettes and other cars.

Trust me, it will be a hot selling item.

<--- Had to grind to get 16's on.

BTW - Corvette's have LS1's too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
